Rynie is in Origin.

Rynie is a rare given name with several plausible roots. In Dutch and Afrikaans it is commonly a diminutive of Reinier/Reiner (also Reinder), ultimately from the ancient Germanic Raginheri - ragin “counsel” + heri “army” - yielding the sense “counsel of the army” or “wise military adviser.” It is noted in the Netherlands and South Africa since the late nineteenth century, first as an informal nickname that later stood on its own.

As a feminine nickname in the Low Countries, Rynie can also echo Irene (Greek Eirēnē, “peace”) or the pet forms Rinie/Rienie of Marina or Marinus; in English it sometimes surfaces as a playful spelling of Ryan. Variants and short forms include Rini, Rinie, Rienie, Riny, Reinie, and Reini. Related longer names are Reinier, Reiner, Rayner, Rainier, Ranieri, and Irene. Today Rynie remains rare but recognizably unisex, with pockets of use in Afrikaans-speaking families.
